Robert Glenn Ketchum, renowned conservation advocate and landscape photographer, will take you beyond the mechanics of photography and into the mind's eye in his workshop, Scale and Color In The Landscape. Robert will work with students, one-on-one, to assist you in creating dramatic images of the natural world. This class will help you understand the ideas and techniques of capturing the scale and size of large-scale landscapes through the lens. The grandeur of the landscapes around Telluride makes it the perfect place to do just this. Geared not just for the fine art photographer, this workshop can aid anyone looking to make better nature photographs. Robert will work with you to understand what you are trying to create with your images and what your personal photographic goals are. Students are encouraged to bring in portfolios of your work. During critique, Robert will help students understand better techniques of photographing, editing, and application to reach personal goals.
Students should bring their portfolios, DSLR camera, tripod, laptop and the corresponding digital software and cables to download for critique.
Biography:
Over the last 40 years, Robert Glenn Ketchum’s imagery, writing, exhibitions, numerous books and personal activism have helped to define photography’s successful use in conservation advocacy. At the same time, Ketchum’s decades of color printing are one of the most unique bodies of work in contemporary color photography, and the textile translations of his photographs created in China since the early 1980’s are among the most beautiful and complex textiles in contemporary art.
Ketchum was named by Audubon magazine as one of the 100 people “who shaped the environmental movement of the 20th Century.” American Photo magazine listed him one of the 100 most important people in contemporary photography in the 1990’s, and then in 2010, named him 5th in their Masters Series, following Henri Cartier-Bresson, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, and Annie Leibovitz. His recent work in the digital darkroom has also prompted Digital Photo Pro magazine to name Ketchum one of the new digital masters. Ketchum’s work is in numerous collections including the Museum of Modern Art (NY), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY), The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the High Museum (GA), and the Houston Museum of Fine Art (TX). Large study collections (over 50 images) have been established at the Huntington Library, Museums and Garden (CA), and the Amon Carter Museum (TX). Ketchum received his B.A. cum laude from UCLA where he studied with Robert Heinecken, Edmund Teske and Robert Fichter. Ketchum was one of the first M.F.A’s from California Institute of the Arts, where he taught briefly, and he has also received an honorary MS from Brooks Institute of Photography.
Ketchum was a founding board member of the Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies. As a curator he discovered, developed and toured the historic archive of the seminal color photographer, Paul Outerbridge; assembled a life retrospective of eminent black photographer, James Van der Zee; and, was the first to show notable contemporary color photographer John Divola’s “Zuma” series. For 15-years, Ketchum also served as served as the Curator of Photography for the National Park Foundation for whom he organized the exhibit and wrote “American Photographers and the National Parks” the defining history of conservation photography in North America. Ketchum is a founding Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP), and a lifetime Trustee of the Alaska Conservation Foundation. He is also distinguished lecturer and teacher whose public engagements have included everything from small high schools to large colleges, multi-national corporations and the National Academy of Sciences. |
